Chateau Lilian Ladouys 2020 MAGNUM 1.5L
The Wine
Château Lilian Ladouys 2020 greets you with aromas of fresh blackberries and Burlat cherries, leading to a rounded, powerful, and intense palate with velvety tannins and hints of licorice, orange peel, and cocoa.
Blend: 50% Merlot, 45% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Petit Verdot, 1% Cabernet Franc
95 Pts Wine Enthusiast 'The combination of powerful tannins and equally generous black fruits is a fine harbinger for this wine's development. Big, bold and juicy with a dense structure, the wine is for longterm aging.'
93 Pts Decanter 'Juicy, well balanced, plenty of personality, with enough juice through the mid palate to balance out the big tannins that are pretty inescapable in any wines of ambition in 2020. The finish closes in sharply, but this is an enjoyable wine from the Lorenzetti-owned Lilian Ladouys (and for me one of the clear leaders of the new Cru Bourgeois Exceptionnel category).'
92 Pts Jeb Dunnuck 'Seemingly always terrific, the 2020 Chateau Lilian Ladouys shows the class of the vintage and has a medium to full-bodied, concentrated, yet silky, perfectly balanced style with tons to love. Darker fruits, damp earth, truffle, and beautiful spice-driven aromatics define this beauty, and while it's already accessible, I'm sure will evolve gracefully for 10-15 years. Best After 2023.'
